N. A. A. C. P. Obtains Names Of Lynchers
New York, Aug. 23—That the two solid steel doors of the Grant County jail, which would have prevented entrance of the mob which lynch Tom Shipp and Abe Smith at Marion, Ind., on August 7th, were not locked on the night of the lynching was revealed here today on the return to New York of Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Women, who was the bureau of the instances of gross failure to protect the prisoners, charged by Mr. White in a letter to James M. Ogden, Attorney-General of Indiana. In his communication to the Attorney-General, Mr. White gave the names of alleged ring-leaders and members of the mob which snuffed out the lives of the two Negro youths at Marion. The police made anecdote public today. Mr. White declared:
"Seldom has there been an instance of more flagrant carelessness in preventing a lynching than was the case at Marion. Sheriff Jacob Campbell claims, that he had no intimation that the lynchings were being planned until around seven o'clock in the evening of August 7th when Mr. W. T. Bailley, wife of a prominent police officer, threw his sheriff to that effect. Mr. Bailley is resident of the Marion branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and of the State Conference of Branches of the N. A. A. C. P. It is difficult to understand how Sheriff Campbell could not have known of the plans to lynch the two negro boys Aparently everyone else in Marion knew early in the afternoon that the lynchings were to be staged. Claude Deeter, the white man killed by the colored boys, died about 1:30 in the afternoon when a crowty crowd entered the streets and threw weapons were open made that Smith and Shipp would be lynched that evening. Deeter's blood-stained shirt was hung out of the front window of the Marion City Building, this being done, according to statements made to me by Chief of Police Lindemuth and others, in order that the shirt might "dry" so that it could be used as evidence in the trials of Smith and Shipp. When asked why the shirt had been allowed to stay there so long, it was told that they had no objection to it." All after-people passed by the lace and saw the shirt, which circumstances unquestionably helped to inflame the mob to action.
'Sheriff Campbell stated to me that when Mrs. Bailey warned him of these lynchings that hewent to to jail garage and there found someone removed and there had let the air out of the tires. This was around seven o'clock and the lynchings did not occur until nearly three hours afterwards, parently made no effort to get another car to move the boys to a place of
"Furthermore, the two steel doors which would effectively have blocked attempts of the mob to seize the prisons were not locked. Each of these doors is about seven-eights of an inch thick, made coef solid steel and each is set in solid steel frame. This have been opened only the use of a blow-torch and can have taken an hour to open each door. This would have given ample time for arrival of police reinforcements from nearby towns; which could have prevented the lynchings. The first of these doors, as one enters the jail, does not close by two inches or more, as I found by testing time more, neither this door nor the second solid steel door were there any keys, stated that he had never sheriff for four years and ad never seenany keys to these doors. He did not seem at all to feel this made any difference. Sheriff Campbell is undoubtedly guilty of gross

U. S. Supports Slave Trade In Abyssinia
Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.—The bosses and government of America which recently condemned the Soviet Union of using convict labor in the production of manganese and pulp wood shied to this country, found themselves faced with a contradiction of their own cause for exclusion of these products.
The J. D. White Company, of New York, intended using slave labor in the construction of a dam on the upper Nile, near Lake Tawna, in Abyssinia. Cable dispatches from Europe state that the matter has been placed before the discredited League of Nations, but do not say by whom the charges are made. It may be taken for granted that chargesmanate from rival camp of the British imperialists who have been worsted so far in the struggle with American imperialism for control of Abyssinia.
That these charges, made by a rival imperialism indulging in the same practices are nevertheless true is borne out by the conditions in Abyssinia which the feudal stage of society and in no position to furnish free labor for so huge an undertaking. However, the American government dismissed as of no importance the charge against the J. G. White Co.
Indiana Lynchers Discriminate
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. August—(CNA) The School Board of this city has let it be known that School No. 11, at Capitol Ave. and 13th Street, will not be used for Negro students this year, it had been stated that due to the very terrible conditions of Negro schools, due to overcrowding, ect., this school would be turned over to them in order to be used for instruction, conditioner, however, will be rescinded at the next meeting of the board.
This is interpreted by the Negro masses of the district as another of the long list of persecutions visited upon the Negroes of Indiana by the ruling class of this state who only a few days ago played the leading role in the lynching of two Negro workers, and who were in effect to impose the conditions of Dixie upon the oppressed Negro tollers.
The jim-crow school facilities for Negroes in this city are rotten indeed. In many of the portable schools can be found wide openings in the walls and ceilings which cannot be closed' becoming a dreadful menace to the health of Negro children in the places on the floors in the sections of the building in order to catch the water as it drips through the roof. In the winter months teachers have been known to instruct their classes in their over-coats and over-shoes- due to the improper heating facilities. It has been hinted quite openly that the pay of the Negro teachers in most of these jim-crow schools is far beneath the wages which teachers and the facilities for Negro children- supplies books ect. are very inadequate if not criminal, negligence. The N, A, A. C. P. has made formal request of Attorney-General Ogden to take action which he is authorized to take and the Indiana law requires removal and removal office of Sheriff Campbell.
"The facts are clear as to the crime charged against the two boys who were lynched. There is no question that they killed Claude Deeter. The circumstances, however, are not as (Kindly turn to last Page)

American Who Attacked Negro In Russia Jailed
APOLOGIZES TO THE UNION COMMITTEE
MOSCOW, USSR, August—(CNA) Lewismueller Lewis, an American worker who attacked a Negro worker working in the same factory with him, in a mess hall, has been placed in jail to await a trail. The Russian workers became so provoked over this act of chauvinism that they vigorously protested at mass meetings held in many of the large industrial centers. Lewis who has had time to think over the crime against him, did not in America where the bosses encourage such antagonisms among Negro and white workers, but is in the Soviet Union where such acts are bitterly condemned. Lewis has admitted that he now understands the crude mistake that he made and blames himself for being under the influence of National Chauvinism. This chauvinism originated in America and is apart of the system the bosses use to keep the workers divided, is the most vicious weapon that renders organization difficult among the Negro as white workers. An egetericial enlightening campaign is being waged in the Soviet Union and among those workers who are affiliated to the more militant organizations in other countries to eradicate the workers in the workers may proceed unharmed in their fight for better conditions.
The communists in the Soviet Union are the vanguard of the working class and load in this fight to purge the ranks of the working class of all remnants of chauvinism and for freedom for all oppressed national minorities and the Negro workers. Such acts as committed by Lewis are not permitted in the Soviet Union and the workers do not wait to receive directives from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to wage a battle against such an evil, but of their own initiative, start a vigorous campaign to prove to the Negro workers their solidarity in the class struggle.
Pickens Secures Passage To Cuba
New York, Aug. 22.—The effectiveness of the N. A. A. C. P's protest last spring in the matter of difficulty experienced by Langston Hughes, famous Negro poet and novelist, in securing passage to Cuba on the Ward Line was demonstrated this week when William Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., obtained, without difficulty, passage to Havana. Mr. Pickens is sailing August 23rd on the Ward Line new ship, the Morro Castle which is mingling with the onward 23rd. Mr. Pickens is also returning on the Ward Line steamer, probably the Morro Castle, leaving Havana September 16th.
It will be remembered that the Ward Lineerefused to accommodate Langston Hughes on the ground that the Cuban Government did not want American Negroes to enter Cuba. The N. A. A. C. P. made virorous protests to the officials of the Line and to the Cuban Government with the theresault that all question on this point was cleared up. Mr. Pickens reports that in securing his accommodations he wrote the Ward Line office on the o__cial stationary of the N. A. A. C. P., and went in person to their office to secure his tickets.
"I didn't even take the pains to pass for white," reports Mr. Pickens.
ORGANIZE TO SMASH GASTONIA
RALEIGH, N. C.—(CNA) Didn't you speak on the same platform with a Negro", the prosecuting attorney asked a defense witness at the trail of seven texile organizers. When the reply was made in the affirmative, the judge ordered the jury to consider this fact in questioning the validity of the witness testimony. Over a year ago the organizers had defended the cases against a law of policed gangsters. In the effort the gang leader, chief of Police Alderhoff, was killed. The trail was held in an atmosphere of intense racial and anti-working class hostility. As a result the seven defendants were sentenced to terms ranging from five to twenty years. The attorney for the International Labor defense filed more than 100 objections to the manner in which the trail was conducted, but these objections were overruled by the Supreme Court. While the case is being carried out the U. S. Supreme Court, the international I.A.L. Defense is organizing Negro and white workers to smash this vicious sentence.
The Negro referred to in the question is Otto Hall, organizer of the American Negro Labor Congress. At the time of the police attack, a group of white textile workers risked their lives to save him from a lynching mob. They furnished him with fare to escape North where he is now organizing to save the Gastonia defendants from a living death.

President Hoover Denounces Lynching
New York, August 21.—"Every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy" declares President Hoover in a letter received from the White House today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The President's statement is contained in a letter, signed by Walt H. Newton, Secretary to the President, and is written in response to a request made by Walter White, Acting Secretary, on August 15th for a pronouncement from the White House regarding the recent recrudescence of lynching.
In his letter to President Hoover, Mr. White declared that the 'total of fourteen lynchings during the first eight months of the year is two more than occurred during all of 1929. This increase, and especially the complete breaking down of machinery for the prevention of such mob outbursts, presents, we are certin you will agree, one of the most serious aspects of disregard of law now manifest in the United States. It is a danger not only to victims of these mobs but to the Government as a whole and to the safety and welfare of the people and workers of all. This wilful disregard and flouting of law by lynching mobs constitutes, in our opinion, a more serious menaceo American institution than all the propaganda of Communists now being inquired into by a Congressional investigating committee." Since the Association's letter to the President another lynching has taken place at Tarboro, N. C., on August 19th.

Runaway Girl Stabs Her Brother
Runaway Girl Stabs Her Brother
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26. — Hopes placed by farmers in this year's good tobacco crop to help them ward off starvation were blasted during the first few days of selling last week at the markets in the Georgia bright-leaf tobacco bell.
— spite of bright talk in the press preceding the opening of the market the agents for the manufacturers and exporters of tobacco suced in forcing the war over them that had ever been since the war. At least 599 households tobacco was selling during the course of last week at 10 cents a pound, far below what is cost the farmer to produce it. During the course of the tobacco auctions ridiculously low price.
The low price spells complete ruin for many of the small farmers. Uuable to meet their d bts and raff on the land' l rds, the teat farres will be complete smashed. In a franti' effo to allay the storm of protest leading politicians have wired Washington to send investigators to the field, where they know that the work hand in hand with the same interests that pushed the prices down. In further pre-election comics the politicians have also tried to get the farm board to at least promise some aid. Thus far, the farm board has found an excuse for staying out of the muddle, remembering the moss they got into with the wheat farmers.
To save the large planters and force the tenants to bear the brunt of the crisis a conference of representatives of the Southern tobacco growing states has been organized in August 11 or 12. In the meantime there is no help forthcoming for the small farmers and tenant farmers who have nothing left to do but join the already swelled job lines in the cities.

CRAFFIC BLOCKED: HUNDREDS
When George Bolden, age 20, saw his runaway sister Ada Bolden 14, leave the Hippodrome Theater where he had station himself wrt the expectation that she would be in there, tried to induce her to return home, she broke away and ran back into the theater he went in after her and she ran out again, and she returned to the gate, and traffic at Second and Leigh was blocked for a few minutes. The young girl secured a knife from somewhere and as her brother cornered her at the corner of Third and Leigh, she stabbed him in the arm, leg and hand. The crowd thinking that the young man was attacking the girl, grabbed him and allowed her to run, and the N.W. corner of Third and Jackson, frightening the lone occupant an elderly woman suffering with heart trouble so, that
Very encouraging reports are coming in to the Reindeer at their headquarters, 801 Buchanan Street concerning their Eighth Annual Convention which meets in this city September 14 to 17, 1930 inclusive.
Headquarters have received literature from Garden City Lodge, Atlantic City N. J., announcing a four day excursion to Richmond which not only bring Reindeer but the host of others who welcome the opportunity to come to Richmond.
Headquarters have also been informed that the Liberty Lodge of Newark, N. J., will attend in a body bringings with them their Reindeer band. Those who were in Newark last year and were fortunate to hear this wonderful hand look forward to much delight to hear it again.
The chapters composed of the female division of the order are making extensive preparations to attend in large numbers from all over the country which will add much to the convention during their stay.
The convention committee is busy night and day completing their arrangements and that will have Richmond with a desire to return again soon. The committee is leaving no stone unturned in looing after the physical and social welfare of the visitors and are desirous of assistance from their friends in matter of donations and housing etc. Many of which have responded wonderfully. Any further information may be had. By address information may be obtained by Queen Mary, 801 Buchanan St or calling Ran. 1955-J; and a representative will gladly call.
Judging by the enthusiastic reports received at headquarters from all over the country this will be the largest and best convention ever held by the Grand Lodge with a probable attendance of between eight to ten thousand visitors
Mitchell Children Injured
The two youngest children of Editor R. C. Mitchell, Editor of the Richmond Planet, Edith Elizabeth, age 2, and Reginald Davis Mitchell, age 4, fell three stories Thursday afternoon while playing in a window at the back of the house, 10 S.

They were rushed to the St. Phillips Hospital where the condition of the girl was reported as fair, the boy suffered internal injuries.
THROUGH TOWN GAMBLERS CLEAN
OUT SECOND STREET
Reports from the underworld hint that two gamblers of foreign extraction have been playing "Hail Columbia" with our Richmond-stud fans. It is averred that these birds carried a system that just wouldn't dont and our boys are nursing bruised pocket books as result of trying to beat these gentlemen gamblers. Large galleries watched night after night as Richmond tried to regain losses the nigt before and each night m-teen left the security of Second Street sports to never return. Reliable reports aver that nearly one thousand dollars were lost within ten days.
the woman had to take to bed. Eluding her brother again she ran down third street. By this time at least a thousand people had been attracted, and it looked like a gigantic marathon race. Automobiles following the chase were lined with occupants on the running board. The little girl seemed to have been the winner of the marathon, completely eluding her brother and all the spectators. The police arrived on the scene and the crowd was quickly dispersed, but there was no sign of little Ada. Our reporter passing the scene at the time had the luck to find out that she ran in 206 East Duval Street, the home of a deaf and dumb woman. He walked in and found the woman of the house trying to get the girl to leave the house. The name of the girl said that her name was Ada Bolden; that the man after her was not her brother and that she resided at 502 West Clay Street. Further investigation revealed that she was the boy's sister, and that she her home Saturday. She is the gopher of Mrs Susie Bolden, 725 A. Leigh Street.

have thousands of socially elite and
intelligently eminent strutting around
when at a crack of the whip from
the white business interests they
would have to strut around bare-

If a hundred Jews would decide to
close up for a while in the colored

starve to death, professional and s0-

We have an abundance of talking
people who can tell how to run things,
but a dearth of doing people who
can accomplish things.
We appear hopelessly _water-

SOCIOLOGY
Jamestown And Jim-Crow
“You can’t go through.” This was the command given to
the writer and five others who motored to Jamestown recently
to visit the spot on which-his ancestors were landed by white men
in 1619 or 1620. If there is any one spot in America from which
Negroes should not be barred, it is the island of Jamestown. It
was here that the Negro began to till the soil of the South, under
hard task masters, with no pay. It was this toil that enriched
the coffers of the Southern white man and upon this riches many
of the sons of white men live prosperous even to this day. This
toil and labor extended over a period of more than two hundred
and fifty years. Notwithstanding all this, the descendants of
these Negroes “can’t go through” to look upon a few remaining
relics standing on a spot made sacred by Negro toil and blood.
It appears as tho some society has leased, rented or bought
a certain part of the island on which stands the old church. A
monument to the memory of Pocahontas and some other land-
marks are said to be erected there also. These have been enclosed
by aywall in which stands 4 double gate as entrance. Near, the
gate is a toll house whose keeper charges. twenty-five cents for
admission. Wd offered to pay the price for each passenger in
our car,. but the keeper, a young white man, said, “You can't
go through.”
COLOR THE SOLE REASON
On hearing this we asked positively if it were because of the
color of our skin that we were denied entrance. He said, “Yes.”
We replied, “We thought that this was the place to which YOU
brought Negroes.” He said, “can’t help that,” and went back
ito the toll house and sat down, while we, the sons and daughters
of those Negroes who made Jamestown rich, silently drove away
praying, “O, Lord, how long?”
THE REAL CAUSE i
From the viewpoint of the society who has charge of the
enclosure the cause for jim-crowing Negroes may be economic.
It may be that many white epeople would not come into the place
it this were not done, and hence the organization would get tewer
twenty-five cents. But why will tewer come in? it is be-
cause they evidently feel that Negroes are too inferior to be per-
mitted to go through any place that the white people value.
Jamestown too sacred tor Negroes to visit now, but the blood
ot Negro fathers was not too sacred to be spilled that James-
town might be enriched in the centuries gone by. The real caus¢
is a sociall one, which grows out af a misconception and an as-
sumed superiority of ona race over another.
DOES VIRGINIA, OR AMERICA CARE?
It seems iv ‘he writer that Virginia and the Aus-ican Com-
monwealth ought to be too morally and humanely sensitive to
permit jim-crowmg at the spot upon which her children, both
black and white, nrst set foot in this country. ‘I'he Negroes have
heard many stories trom white speakers about the loyalty and
sacredness of “black mammues,” but this will fall on deat ears
ot the Negro whue he 1s denied the privilege to see the spot
where “biack mammy’”’ first bowed under the yoke of slavery
and toil without a murmur, and while he suffers from many other
stigma. i

A LETTER SENT OUT
The following letter has been sent by the writer to several
white newspapers:
Dear Sir:—
1 was born in Virginia and reared in the city of Richmond.
Tama Negro. Recentiy 1, with five other Negroes, visited James-
town and sought to encer the enclosure there upon which stands
the old churcn and some other historic Jandmarks We offered
to pay the admission tee, but were refused admittance because of
our race and color.
It seems as though the particular spot in question has been
rented or leased by some historic society, with.a view of making
money. Whatever the situation is, it gave us pain to know that
Negroes are counted unwortny to stand on the soil to which their
fauners were brought in 1619. It cannot be denied that Negro
labor, tree labor, siave labor, began at Jamestown and continued
tor centuries. 1t does seem to us inhumane and inconsistent that
the “black mammues” should be praised i nour hearing so often
and then on the other hand we are told that we cannot go into
the enciosure at Jamestown because we are the sons of “black
mammies.”
it may be that a word from such papers as yours might cre-
ate a senument which may result in a broader policy by those in
charge.
—Dincerely yours,

To many readers the music of this
book, for it is written with a poet's
sensé of beauty, will seem, as the blues
did to Sandy, the saddest ‘musi cin the
world. But occasionally there is laugh-

feel that if the pace that has
been set in the past few months
1s conunued, it will have reached
the pomt im a very short while
wnese it must be stopped, or
tnere will hkely be brought
‘avout a complete destruction of
tne erstwnue peacetul relations
tnat were supposed to be extant
between the races here,
‘Yhese conditions are readily
felt by thinking Negroes, and
are opserved by thinxing white
people, 1or hardly a day passes
uae some poor Negro 1s not
made to sutter public indignities
av tue nands ot some whice man.
‘Vne iavest of these was an inci-
uent m which three Negroes
were chased by an otticer in an
alieged stolen truck, the Negroes
im question are alleged to have
damaged one or two cars in
tne wud mght, attempting to
tose or out-aistance the otticer.
‘Atter the truck was brought
to a stop, being disabled by a
bullet 1rom the otticer’s gun,
these young men were set upon
and beacen by white men, one
ot whom offered as an excuse
for his actions, that the Ne-
gcoes had damaged his car, the
other offered no excuse what-
ever. , We ask, jwhich is the
greater crime, the violation of
a man’s personal rights, or the
violation of his property rights?
‘These Negroes, if all reports
be true, had technically violated
the property rights of someone
m steaung the truck, and had
accidentally violated, as was al-
leged, the property rights of
one of the white men, all of
which by all jlegal precedents
should be settled in a court of
jaw. Yet they were set upon
and beaten by one of their al-
leged victims, who was assisted
by one or more others who wer¢
not concerned in the case, then
placed under arrest, from which
they will hardly emerge without
paying heavy fines or serving
time, while their antagonists
who violated their persona
rights, were allowed to go scot
free. We further ask, had th:
causes been reversed, would th
resulting actions of the office
have been the same?
Who, in the face of these
facts will dare say that ther:
is justice in Richmond for Ne

justice here, it is in cases wher
only members of their own rac
are involved. Justice is suppose:
to be blind, but it seems to us
that she has lately—in Rich
mond, at least—thrown hel
hood-wink away.
We do not feel that these con

HOLD AGED MAN FOR MURDER
Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 18—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—John Collins, 72, was lodged in the Texas side jail on a warrant charging him with the murder of Bill King, 41, who was shot to death at his home on the farm of Mit Chance. 10 miles north of here, about three weeks ago. Chance was shot down by an "unknown assassin" while he was feeding his hogs in a pen a few yards from his home. Officers have been working quietly on the case and developed evidence which they say will make a strong case against Collins. The scene of the tragedy was on the line dividing Arkansas and Texas. Officers said that Collins stood in Arkansas when he fired the fatal shot, while his victim was just a few yards over the line in Texas.

Konjola
Richmond Man Finds Out What New and Different Medicine Can Do
You will admit that when seven million bottles of Konjola were used in two years that Konjola must have merit. Well, Konjola is actually 32 medicines in one, and of these 32 ingredients 22 are the juices of roots and herbs known for their medicinal value. Results are what count, and Konjola can be counted on for results. Take, for example, the case of Mr. John H. Jones, 504 Randolph Street, Richmond. See what this amazing medicine did for him, and then decide to find out all about it from the Konjola Man, who is at the Peoples Service drug store, 101 East Broad Street, this city. Learn how Konjola cleanses the ailing organs; rids the system of poisons and brings glorious relief from ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and from rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness.
But right now—before you do anything else—
read what Mr. Jones said to the Konjola Man:
ARREST WHITE ASSAILANT
New York, Aug. 18.—By The Associated Negro Press.)—As a result of the disturbance between white and colorate residents of Williamsburg last Tuesday, May Fater, 43, of 194 Seigel St. was placed under arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct.
He is alleged to have threatened bodily harm to a colored woman. Lucinda Hatcher, of 205 Seigel street. Fater is said to have met the woman at Seigel street and Bushwain Avenue and there discussed the disturbance of the night of the trouble. The young woman called a policeman and asked that the man be arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. Ex-policemen are on duty in the neighborhood to prevent further outbreaks.
CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR REFUS
ES TO SEND MAN TO ALABAMA
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 18.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Governer John H, Trumbull refused to allow Johnny Williams, 28, to be extradited from Connecticut by authorities in Alabama Tuesday.
A sheriff from Henry county who had come for Williams stole back south without his man. Williams extradition had been sought in connection with the murder of a white girl in 1928.
Governor Trumbull informed the fecer Tuesday that he could not the requisition because an Alabrand jury failed to indict six months after the crime.
Williams has been working here barrel factory for more than a year. Some people who knew of his whore abouts gave the tip upon which the authorities acted.
RELIGION WITH FIST CAUSES AR

"Konjola is the most marvelous medicine I have ever found. For several years I had stomach distress almost constantly, and especially after meals. Gas formed and a hot, sour liquid came up into my mouth. This almost choked me. When I tried to sleep the gas pressed against my heart so that I could hardly get my breath. Constipation, liver disorders and nervousness added to my trouble. I despaired of ever finding relief. But friends kept urging me to give Konjola a trial. I can never tell how happy I am over the results from five bottles, my stomach troubles are over and today I can eat anything. My bowels and liver are functioning naturally, and I feel like a new man, full of life and energy. I shall never hesitate to recommend Konjola to my friends."
So it goes; victory after victory. Konjola s for the aged or the infant, and triumphs, in case after case, where all else tried has failed.
The Konjola Man is at the Peoples Service drug store, 101 East Broad Street, Richmond, where daily he is meeting the public and explaining the merits of this new and different medicine.

Hubby Unfaithful; Wifey Granted Divorce
Hubby Unfaithful; Wifey Granted Divorce
Associated Negro Press) — Following the corroborated testimony of Mrs. J. Dawkins, that she ead found her husband in bed with one Emelia Williams, on the night of May 2, Judge Clark granted her a divorce from her erring hubby.
Mrs. Dawkins told the court that she and her husband were married in 1918 and lived happily until they moved to Yallahs in the parish of St. Thomas. Dawkins was a shopkeeper and accorded with the living around with other women." He neglected his wife and family and frequently beat her. Not being to stand is abus any longer, several months ago she left him and returned to Kingston.
He followed her here but n o re-onciliation could be affected. On the night of May 2, she testified that she received word that another woman was living with her husband.

Her husband sought to beat her, but was restrained by the two companions of his wife.
At the hearing, Dawkins made no defense whatever and the decree was granted, but in doing so, Judge Clark reprimanded the woman for breaking into the room and warned others who might be tempted to do likewise that they would be prosecuted for their actions.

Declares No Negro Gangs In Chicago
Washington, Aug. 18.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Delegates to the annual convention of the National Bar Association which was held in this city last week who might have thought that every time a Chicagoan reaches for his handkerchief, he may null it with a gun, were told by Assistant State's Attorney Euclid Taylor that they were many per cent wrong in notions about Chicago and its crime.
Mr. Taylor represented his superior, Judge John A. Swanson, state's attorney of Cook County, who had asked to address the lawyers on crime conditions in Chicago and the Nervous relation thereto.
"Crime conditions in Chicago, who serious, are greatly exaggerated," emphasized Taylor.
In support of that demurrer, he from statistics compiled by the dental Life Insurance Company, sued in a report of the Chicago Association of Commerce, which showed that Chicago, instead of leading the country in homicides, was 36th. Chicago's homicide rate is 12.7 per cent per cent from the city, in northeast,ennessee, was a rate of 66.8 per cent; Ga., 54.7 per cent; Birmingham, Alabama, 51.3 per cent, and Jacksonville, Fla., 46.9 per cent. Chicago's homicide rate was reduced three per cent from 1928 to 1929, and the 1929 rate was only slightly higher than the average for the country as a whole. According to Mr. Taylor, who has made a special study of the Negro's connection with crime, there is no such thing known in the city. Chicago as a Negro gangster, "In the field of deliberate mass murder for profit," asserted the prosecutor, "the Negro is unknown."
An exact relationship between economic status and crime, so far as the Neegro is concerned, has been discovered by the state's attorney's office. Investigation has served to show that the Neegro who was born in Chicago or who has lived there a sufficient length of time to adjust himself economically, displays a minimum of criminal tendencies, and that the problem with the criminal Negro is almost entirely with the group which has migrated from the south, which is unable to resist, either because of lack of opportunity or lack of training, to adjust itself to the new and strange economic conditions.
"An analysis of the statistics for or lack of training, to adjust itself to crime during the past twelve years," indicated Mr. Taylor, shows that when the labor market is brisk, crimes committed by Negroes diminish, and that they increase when that market tightens."
Mr. Taylor also implied that the Negro finds himself important in the city's crime statistics because of difficulties usually present in giving him a fair trial.
"The Negro criminal faces the rapidly moving courts of Chicago without friends, or funds, and with a record of unemployment upon which are cast no friendly glances," Mr. Taylor explained. "The dread of facing the court, the crowded room packed with what he imagines are unfriendly spectators, and a jury of whites, cause his friends to be reluctant to appear to testify in his behalf."
One humanist fifty delegates attended the convention.
The constitution of the Association was amended so that Atty. Raymond Pace Alexander, of Philadelphia might be re-elected president. His election, made on the nomination of Former Francis Stradford, Chicago, was unanimous.
The officers are: Atty. Georgia Jones-Ellis, Chicago, reelected vice-president; Atty. Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Miss., vice president; Atty. W. T. Andrews, New York vice-president; Atty. Piper, re elected treasurer; Atty. George W. Lawrence, Chicago, secretary; Atty. Eunice Pridggeon, Cleveland, assistant secretary. The Association will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, next year.

Marion Jail Doors
(Continued from Page 1)
given in the reports of the hold-up. The scene of the crime is a resorted road, according to Prosecutor Harley Hardin for "putting parties," and according to Captain Charles Truax of the Police Department, for "jazz parties." This is a main statement of the reputation of the spartan road is about three miles out of Marion, and runs at right angles to the main road, it isnown as "Lovers' Lane," is but little wider than a foot-path, and runs parallel to the Mississinewa River. There are many spots to the left of the road towards the river where automobiles have parked for purposes which may easily be imagined, showing the purpose for which the place is used. One of the officials of Marion admitted that by a general understanding the county officers do not interfere with anything that goes on at this place. This is significant as bearing upon the reputation of Mary Ball who alleges that her son was criminally assaulted by Attorney General parents of Claude Deeter, the slain wife indictment denied that their son was engaged to amry Mary Ball. Nevertheless the fact that rumors were spread that a girl of this character had been criminally assaulted was chiefly the cause for theellynchings,
"There is, in my opinion, based upon conversations with colored and white people at Marion of all classes, little hope of aprehending and punishing the lynchers, if prosecution is left to local officials. Prosecutor Harley Hardin expressed unwillingness to cause the arrest of lynchers prior to the convening of the September Grand Jury. He did not impress me as being a strong or an able character. He was much alarmed when I talked with him because of some anonymous threats he had received — some from whites threatening him if he proceeded with the prosecution and some from colored people threatening him if he did not proceed. The N. A. A. C. P. has formally requested Attorney-General Ogden and Governor Harry B. Harger to take the investigation. It is the general consensus of opinion that only by such a step will any of the lynchers be brought to trial.
"The N. A. A. C. P. has supplied these two o_ cials with the names of certain of the phleynchers and evidence against them which I secured in Marion.
"Some of the officials, however, have acted in the lynchings. Mayor Jack Edwards, the youthful Chief Executive of Marion, was out of town on the night of the lynching, but since his return the following day he has done everything possible to suppress lawlessness. Attorney-General Ogden sent two investigators, Merie Wall and Earl B. Stroup, to Marion, who, with local officials conducted a board of inquiry. On the other hand, L. O. Chasey. Secretary to Governor Leslie, a native of Marion, was most discourteous when appealed to over long-distance troops by mail. He sent troops to Marion, abruptly hanging up the receiver on Mrs. Bailey, Mr. Chasey, who was acting in the absence of Governor Leslie from the state, declined to send troops when appealed to by Mayor Edwards, doing so only when Sheriff Campbell had asked for troops.
"The Marion lynchings are a challenge to every decent citizen and especially to Negroes in their being an invasion by lynching mobs of a northern state. Certain officials of Marion claim that the mob-murders were not racial in character. This seems somewhat difficult to believe in view of the fact that there were in the jail at the time of the lynchings two white men charged with rape, while two others charged with the same offense were at liberty on bail. Also, the time of the lynchings was another time charged with one of the most brutal crimes in the history of Grant County. He had hacked off the head, arms and legs of another white man in a dispute over a woman. None of these white prisoners, however, was molested by themb.
"The lynching of Ship and Smith were among the most horrible and brutal in the whole history of lynching. Ship was the first brought forth from teal. He was lynched to the bars of the jail itself. When first pulled up he held on to the rope, preventing strangulation. He was the rope, its fury the temporary postponement of death. Shipp was lowered to the ground in order that his hands might be tied. He fought furiously for his life, burrying his teeth in the arm of one of the lynchers. In order to make him loosen his teeth his skull was crushed in with a crowbar and a knife plunged into his heart. Fortunately for him, death occurred thus preventing the suffering. "The N. of the Indians inaches and its National O_.ce is permitted to press vigorously for a prosecution of the lynchers and punishment to the full extent of the law."

"Our Blushing Brides" with Joan Crawford in the starring role and such cinema favorites as Anita Page, Dorothy Sebastian, Robert Montgomery, Raymond Hackett and John Millan in prominent supporting roles will be the screen attraction at the Bijou Theatre, starring Manday and ending Wednesday night.
Metro-Goldwyn-Myer is said to have outdone itself in the matter of lavish seeeings, costumes, and unusual features for this production, having started off with a bang by hiring an entire Los Angeles department store, personal and all, for the opening scenes which depict the daily routine of three women employees. Subsequent romances of the three girls place them in the environment of the millionaire class and advance information has it that these setups are the most lavish and artistic representations of modernistic intreviews yet seen on the screen.
Unusual features of the picture include a spectacular fashion-show held in te gardens of a Long Island estate and an Albertina Rasch ballet, photographed at night. This last sequence required a six weeks' training course in Greek dancing upon the part of Miss Crawford who studied under the direct supervision of Mme. Albertina Rasch.
The last half of the week brings Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon in the Great Crook story "Alias French Gertie". Watch the Bijou programs, Many big hits are on the way.

Buster Keaton, whose initial talking comedy was the mournful burlesque of Hollywood activism, "Bleach and Easy" again turns to training in his second dialogue production, "Dough boys", which is said to present a picture of the World War fro a decidedly humorous viewpoint.
Appearing as the son of a millionaire who suite unexpectedly finds himself in the firing lines, Keaton runs the gamut of a long series of what are reported to be side-splitting situations in which he ends up as the hero of the regiment wilt knowing what it is all about.
Sharing honors with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedian in his newest laugh-getter is the director Edward Sedgwick, whose efforts inconNECTION with the production revealed an amazing versatility in asmuch as he not only supervised the filming of the picture, but assisted Al Boasberg and Sidney Lazarus in preparation of the scenario, acted the role of the camp cook and wrote one of the song numbers of the picture, "Mister Military Man." Incidentally, Sedgwick is the director who guided Keaton the show such successes as "The Cameraman," "Spite Marriage" and "Free and Easy." Information is that the plot of "Dough Boys" gives Keaton on opportunity to veer slightly more straight dramatic action than is usually seen in the comedian's work. Individuals, however, who advance "shots of the production are emphatic in the insurance that it is not long in the usual quota of laughs. A sequence in which it is said Keaton outdoes himself is that of a "dug-out show" in which the soldiers impersonate women and star executes a riotout; `Apache` dance with arubatic variations.
Added laughsf are guaranteed by the appearance of Cliff Edwards and his inevitable ukulele who sings the pro

PORTER Emerson told me, when I interviewed him at Sunny Spot, his country place near Sikeston, Missouri, that he owned a wash tub full of coins representing every country under the sun, which, for their historical importance, were exceedingly valuable.
I had heard of Porter Emerson very, frequently, and now that I stood in his presence, I began to feel the influence of his remarkable personality. The most unusual ct is that Emerson is blind.
He lost his eyes in an adventure, the object of which was acquiring a California gold coin. He recovered it from a serious fire at the home of a friend who was also a coin collector. The friend had refused to go in after the gold piece and told Emerson that if he recovered it he could have it. Emerson made a heroic effort and had success. It was a stroke of misfortune that he lost his eyesight in that fire. There is no way of foretelling the extent of his accomplishment had he retained the keen eyesight which once he possessed.
Porter Emerson is not interested in anything except coin collecting; it is his business and his hobby, combined. He says that he has made a fortune, and spent one in pursuit of this pleasure. The way he makes money out of the occupation, which he catalogues as an art—it is, when one figures that Porter Emerson is the most highly respected authority in the State of Missouri, on coins—is intensely interesting, at least. He has conceived plans and executed them for elegantly arresting window displays, and innumerable banks, and other similar institutions, have engaged him to show his enormous collection in their windows. Moreover, this colored coin collector has lectured at several colleges and schools throughout the country, and showed his collection for admission, earning quite a considerable amount of money in this manner.
"Nothing ever interested me but coins," Emerson said, when he had invited me into his study. "Ever since I was a boy and my grandmother Betty gave me a penny she had found in the backyard while making soap in a kettle, I have been acquiring coins, one after another. I suppose I get a bigger thrill out of finding an old Roman coin, or one of the Colonial period, than you would if you found a hundred dollars in current money. It means just that much to me."
There is a colorful history in every coin, and countries have written their histories in them, as clearly and unmistakably as a history could be compiled in words, according to Emerson, and who has revealed more interesting facts about coins than he has?
Once a strangely beautiful woman came to his house to seek shelter from a rain storm, leaving her car on the road, not far distant. In those days the highways were in poor condition, and when it rained hard, the roads became almost completely impassable. The woman was unescorted, and although Emerson is a bachelor, and lives alone in a big house of many rooms, he took this visitor in. She tried to ensnare him, once throwing her arms about his neck while they were dining together—Emerson having prepared a meal for her. This made the coin collector suspicious, and he decided to watch his guest. He couldn't

help but believe that she had a hidden motive. So when midnight came, and the rain still pattered against the mansard roof and there was a sound of running water off the eaves, he suggested that they retire. This tall stately woman was willing, and smoked another cigarette; then she allowed him to show her to her bedroom which was adjoining the coin room—the latter place was a sort of museum.
Venerable Porter Emerson, Colored Coin Authority Has a "Mint" in Old Historical Coins, Some of Which Have As Much Significance As Judas's 30 Pieces of Silver
Never a word had she spoken in regard to coins, and when she entered her room she bid him a pieasant good-night.
But Emerson did not immediately retire. There was an enormous fire-place at the end of the low-ceiled hall, and he skipped into the shadow of this, where he waited and watched.
He had been there no longer than ten minutes when he saw the
woman, almost nude, slip out of her room and steal surreptitiously into the museum. Then, like a flash, it occurred to Emerson that she was after some of his coins, possibly one in particular, or again maybe she hoped to steal as many as she could carry. He had several pieces of immense value in the museum. So he walked boldly up to the door, flung it open and paused

upon the threshold. There were countless hangings and tapestries decorating the interior, and when he did not see his guest, he naturally supposed that she had hidden herself behind one of these. Therefore, he bid her to come out. "I know you're a thief," he declared, "and you might as well give up peacefully." Immediately she came out. She admitted that she had been sent there by another coin collector to steal his Roman coins, and was to be paid a hundred dollars for her services.
Emerson did not prosecute her, but he sent her out into the driving rain as punishment. He never saw her again. When the sun rose the next morning, he walked out to the road and found where her car had been, but there was no sign of its presence then.
Regarding the Roman money in his collection Emerson said:
"Ancient Rome wrote her history in her coins. On the earliest Roman money we find oxen and pigs and chickens pictured in rude relief on brick shaped ingots about 4x8, and weighing up to five pounds. These were the principal animals sold in the market place of Rome, and each ingot bearing their image was supposed to equal them in value. These animals were also used in sacrifice in the worship of the Roman gods, and were considered sacred to this divinity or that.
"Several coins have come to light which show the delegates from various states around Rome making treaties of peace and alliance over the head of a sacred sow. According to Vergil, Aeneas of Troy was the original Roman, and decided on building the city there when he saw a sow with a litter of thirty pigs."
There are many beautiful legends connected with the coins, some of these pieces, heavy bronzes, weighed as much as one full pound. They were gradually reduced until no bigger than our copper cent, in the days of the empire.
But it is of the early American coins that Porter Emerson takes most pride in telling, and these, some of the most important of the collection, are pictured in this issue. They are rare coins, and hard to obtain, but they are by no means the most valuable coins he has in his collection. In fact, they are valued low. But Mr. Emerson thought that they would picture better than the others.
I saw Chinese coins, strings of them, coins of England, France, and from the far distant corners of the world. And the extraordinary collection of gold coins, numbering one hundred and ten pieces, belonging to Porter Emerson, could be spent today, thereby differing from the other coins which he would have to dispose of as commodities. Mr. Emerson is now busy writing a book, which he is dictating to his sister, about his adventures while seeking curious coins.

After the day’s toil and the many
fretting cares, we turn toward the
theatre as toward a fairy palace
where a wand would be lifted and
our cares vanish in a land that has
allurement.
Most of the plays in the past have
had a kitchen setting, and around its
drab center our thoughts are tether-
ed. Now let us move for-a while into
some other portion of the house or
out of doors maybe—the great open-
One reason for the long continued
production of plays of this sort has
been that a ready market was found.
Dialect or broken English was ac-
cepted and welcomed as was poetry
that delineates the popular blues.
Writers are proverbially poor and
naturally seek the paying market; but
each forward step in art as in other
fields, must have its martyrs—those
who are willing to lose something for
the good of all. These young writers
must brush the dew from the path
that the way may be safe and clear
for the great procession that shall
pass this way tomorrow.
Our life today is so full of rich ma-
terial, so pregnant with vital issues,
so astounding, that the young play-
wright needs only leisure and the
will to do, provided of course that he
is a playwright. :
At this point it is well to leave ex-
cursions across the color line; rest for
a while until the time ripens for
that. Plays that deal with life with-
in the race group Will find a market,
but those that touch too vitally upon
issues that are as yet raw had best
wait their time. Even this type of
story, will have its day, but not just
now.
It would be an excellent idea for
the young writer who is even now dip-
ping his pen in great impatience to
begin, for him to get the plays of the
writers who have pioneered this field.
He will find what has been done and
calculate his improvements thereup-
on.
The good old ignorant Negro, the
poor old ignorant Negro, the bad old
ignorant Negro, have served well as
themes and shall serve now and then
again, but now it is high time for a
word and a picture of the children of
these men. Surely thi: new genera-
tion has some points of dramatic
interest to be set forth. The world
changes and men change but the
human emotions remain eternally the
same, and life is just as interesting,
just as exciting and just as pulsing
with emotional moments as in the
long ago. E

The TRUTH ABOUT THE GREAT FREDERICK DOUGLASS
The Concluding Part In the person of Douglass, as was said, a new and relentless foe had entered the fight against slavery. To hostile audiences he showed the same spirit that he had shown to the slave masters.
Up and down the Northern states becoming interested, went off to colo. went thundering against it. He lect funds.
Up and down the Northern states he went thundering against it. He was mobbed in Faneuil Hall, Boston, and at Harrisburg, Pa. At Richmond, Ind., he was greeted with a shower of rotten eggs.
At Pendleton, Ind., the mob tore down the platform on which he was speaking. When the mob attacked him, he defended himself with a club until his arm was broken and he was battered into unconsciousness. When he regained it, with his arm in a sling, he insisted on speaking again. During the anti-draft riots in New York City when the mob was attacking every colored person, Douglass faced it undaunted. His courage stood as firm as the pigment in his skin.
During all this time he was running the risk of being caught and returned to his matser. This danger he had somewhat avoided by using another name and giving another birthplace. But the pro-slavery faction was challenging him as a fraud. To prove that he was telling the truth, Douglass boldly wrote his autobiography, giving all details. The book had a tremendous sale but it put the slavers on his track, and he fled to England. Besides, he had long been wanting to go there to strengthen the anti-slavery cause. On the way over he came near losing his life. In a speech he spoke with his accustomed fearlessness against slavery, and a party of incensed Southerners attempted to toss him overboard.
But it developed that they had really done him a good turn. The English papers took up the incident and gave him tremendous publicity. The greatest in the land invited him to their homes. Cobden, Brougham, Peel, Disraeli, great British orators, welcomed him. He swept England with the fire of his oratory. Whenever he spoke it was like a warbugle ordering the charge.
For the first time, too, he knew what it was to be a real man. Even white Americans, who would not have noticed him at home, sought him out now, some of them in the hope of getting acquainted through him with the English elite.
Once while speaking in the House of Commons with Lord Morpeth, a certain minister, who he said would never have recognized him at home, came up to him and asked him to introduce him to the lord.
When he spoke of returning to America some of the leading English personages urged him not to, offering him a home as long as he lived, but he replied that there was no inducement strong enough to make him desert his people. "Whether a slave or a freeman," he said, "America is my home and there I mean to spend and be spent in the cause of my outraged countrymen." (It is important to note that he said "countrymen" not "race.")
When his English friends found out that he could not be persuaded, they gave him $20,000; of this sum $750 was to purchase his freedom; the remainder was to found a newspaper.
Back in America with his freedom bought, he went to Rochester and founded the North Star, a paper through which he meant to fight not only for freedom, but equality. This step was necessary as the abolitionists generally opposed equality, some because they were not in favor of it; others because they feared it would alienate friends.
Douglass, however, believed firmly in the equality of all men. "I know of no race problem," he insisted; "there is a human problem." He saw the slaves and the freedmen not as Negroes but as Americans, the countrymen of the proudest in the land.
He contended that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document; he firmly opposed the Back-to-Africa idea, saying that the place for the black man was his country, America; and he preceded Booker T. Washington by urging free colored persons to own land, build up farms, and learn trades. Harriet Beecher Stowe
s, as was said, a new and reight against slavery. To hosame spirit that he had shown becoming interested, went off to collect funds. The above differences with some of the abolitionists were the cause of his withdrawl to Rochester. Rochester, which was later proud to have a monument in his honor, at first opposed him, not wishing a "Ne-

Nor did he desert the lecture platform. With his firm friends, Wendell Phillips and Theodore Tilton, he went everywhere. By this time he had become, in himself, the most effective argument against slavery, and won converts by the thousands. The pro-slavery party hated him more than anyone else.

In England once more, he agitated strongly for the cause, returning to America when the North had begun to view the John Brown raid in a different light. When war actually began, he threw his whole weight into its prosecution. His slogan was: "Union and Emancipation; Abolition or Destruction."
Consistent with his policy of equality, he demanded that colored persons should be used as soldiers in the
of the South was to hang all colored prisoners. As Horace Greeley said at the time: "Every black soldier now goes to battle with a halter about his neck."
Douglass insisted that the North should retaliate on such occasions; further, that the colored soldier should receive the same pay as the white, and the same opportunity for promotion.
Stubbornly he fought for this, and was a frequent visitor at the White
Another who was greatly inspired by Douglass was John Brown. The latter was a frequent visitor to his home. When John Brown was about to make his raid on Harpers Ferry, he begged Douglass to come along, but Douglass realizing that it would be an attack on the federal government rather than on slavery, refused. Most likely he also realized the hopelessness of the attempt. Nevertheless the raid brought him much trouble, and he was forced to flee into Canada, and thence to England. His name had been found among John Brown's papers, and all

When war actually began, he threw his whole weight into its prosecution. His slogan was: "Union and Emancipation; Abolition or Destruction."
Consistent with his policy of equality, he demanded that colored persons should be used as soldiers in the army, instead of merely as servants and laborers. Northern color prejudice opposed it, and Lincoln obeyed the popular will. Still, Douglass fought for it, and as the need of men grew with thousands of white men deserting the North, he was forced to accept them, at last. It was these colored soldiers, as was said, who turned the tide of battle in favor of the North. Douglass helped to raise the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Regiments, his sons, Charles and Lewis, being among the first to enlist. He, himself was promised the post of As-

of the South was to hang all colored prisoners. As Horace Greeley said at the time: "Every black soldier now goes to battle with a halter about his neck." Douglass insisted that the North should retaliate on such occasions; further, that the colored soldier should receive the same pay as the white, and the same opportunity for promotion.
Stubbornly he fought for this, and was a frequent visitor at the White House. Lincoln thought him much of a pest at first, but as the Negro soldiers began to prove their worth, Lincoln learnt to appreciate the wisdom of his counsels, and in darkest moments of the conflict would sometimes send for him. On one occasion he sent for him to ask what was the best means of getting the slaves to desert their masters as he felt that that was the quickest way to demoralize the South.
At Lincoln's second inauguration, Douglass was, however, barred at the door because of his color. A gentleman, who knew him well, happening

to come up, took Douglass in along with himself.
After his address, Lincoln, seeing him in the crowd, came to meet him.
"Here comes my friend, Douglass," cried Lincoln. Taking him by the hand he inquired: "What did you think of my speech?
"Mr. Lincoln," replied Douglass, "I must not detain you with my poor opinion. There are thousands waiting to shake your hand."
"No, no," answered Lincoln, "you must stop a little. There 's no man in the country whose opinion I value more than yours. I want to know what you think of it."
"Mr. Lincoln," responded Douglass, "that was a sacred effort."
But for Douglass also, the Negro might not have become a citizen at least when he did. President Johnson's idea was to get the South back into the Union by giving it as free a hand as possible with the freedmen. Douglass saw where this would lead to, and demanded the ballot. The liberty of America, he said, depended on three boxes: the Ballot-box, the Jury-box, and the Cartridge-box.
"From the first," said Douglass, "I saw no chance of bettering the condition of the freedman until e should cease to be a freedman and become a citizen. I insisted that there was no safety for him or anybody else in America outside the American government. . . . "I set myself to work with whatever force I possessed to secure this power for the recently emancipated millions." This proposition was received as ridiculous even by most of the abolitionists. Even Garrison, himself, had to be won over to the idea by Wendell Phillips.
With the winning of the ballot, Douglass's greatest task was done. But there were honors, such as they were, in store for him. He served in the following posts: U.S. Commissioner to San Domingo; Minister to Haiti; Member of the Legislative Council of the District of Columbia; presidential elector of New York, and bore the vote of that state for Grant to Washington; and Marshal of the District of Columbi in which post he officiated at the inauguration of President Garfield. At one Republican convention he was one of those named for the Presidency.
Later, he gave lectures on "Self-Made Men," that thrilled black and white alike. In 1871 he delivered an address at Arlington Cemetery at which President Grant was present; in 1876 at the unveiling of the Freedmen's Monument in Washington, he was the orator of the occasion. President Grant, his cabinet, and other dignitaries were present. This speech was printed and sold over the nation. In 1886 he toured Europe and visited Egypt. Himself and Mrs. Douglass were invited to all public functions at the White House by President Cleveland.
His declining years were spent on his property, Cedar Hill, at Anacostia, D.C., on land formerly owned by an aristocrat who had decreed that neither mulatto, Negro, nor Irishman, should own a foot of his land. Here, surrounded by his books and souvenirs, he devoted himself to the study of music, of which he was passionately fond. Here, also, national and international personages visited him. He became known as "The Sage of Anacostia."
Many other interesting stories could be told of him, but the following deserves mention. After the war, he longed to visit his friends in Maryland but he was regarded as an outlaw. Many years later, however, he was permitted to do so.
Among those he saw was his cruel master, Thomas Auld, Auld, poverty-stricken, lay on his death-bed with

rishment. “Messré: Death & Com-
pany!” By the latter part of the week
it had spread like wildfire. All Chi-
cago was agog over the sensational
announcement that Mrs. David Grif-
jan, widow of the late T. Elmer Grif-
fin, formidable figure in the world oi
Negro finance, had purchased her
death with the same _nonchalance
that she had in the old’ days, pur-
chased a string of pearls.
Newspaper editorials came thick
and fast, forcibly denouncing this
amazing incident as—quoting the
News—“an affair that smacks dis-
gustingly of the fiendish accomplish-
ments of an irresponsible maniac!”
In its home edition of Friday after-
noon, four days after the finding of
the old woman's body, this newspaper
took another step and stated that:
“While we are aware of the fact
that we are living in an age in which
scientific research has, figuratively
speaking, spread her wings; while we
can accept the fact that a powerful
bomb can be set in motion and guided
by means of radio to a destination
| two thousand miles away, and that
this same bomb can destroy a city
the size of New York in ten minutes,
this newspaper finds it a great tax
on its intelligence to believe that a
gas has been discovered or invented,
that can bring-to the human body
both completely ecstacy and death at
the same time.
“With all due respect to Dr. Fields
the first of his profession to view the
|body, who later sated that the dis-
coloring at the tip of the dead wom-
an’s nose might have been caused
by a contrivance at the end of a
length of hose, through which this
| mysterious gas passed into her body
|and to Coroner Hall and Chief Rog-
|gerty, this newspaper believes that
much might be accomplished by ig-
|moring the letter, the odor found it
the room, and the statement by mem-
bers of the woman’s family that sh¢
had recently attempted suicide in hel
|home. We believe that the discolor-
|ing on her nose was probebly causec
by something else.
“Finally, the law-abidiug citizens o
Chicago can have some solace in
| the face that Detective Hubert Hol-
|comb, the man who solved the Car-
lisle, the Mitchell, the Simmons, anc
the Collins mu-der cases, has main-
tained a stiff upper lip in the matter
In all probability, Mr. Holcomb has

miliar footsteps had sounded out
there.
“Something's up for sure!” drawled
the young reporter, who had been
just about to leave the room. “It’s
Holcomb. It’s not like him to walk
fast like that.”
“No, it ain’t,’? Roggerty murmured,
tugging thoughtfully at his heavy
mustaches. ' “It sure ain't!”
The next instant the gaunt form
|of Holcomb stood framed in the door-
way, smiling. “Howdy, chief!” he
greeted. “Howdy, Williams!”
“Morning, Holcom’ .”
“Where in the ‘Sam Hill’ have you
been these last four days?” Roggerty
roared.
|_ “Doing a little scientific investigat-
jing, Chief.”
“Any rare snakes?”
| “Nope—only rainbows!”
The reporter started for the door.
‘It’s a wonder they, hadn't kicked him
jout right away, he thought; but just
at that moment Holcomb swung
/around and addressed him. “riold on
‘a minute, Williams,” he cried, digging
‘for his watch, “What time does the
‘News go to press? Hmmm!—or> o™-
{clock, eh?”
“And it'll be on the street at three,”
'uhe reporter went on brightly.
| Holcomb made a swift calculation.
Roggerty arched his eyebrows and
smiled blandly. Then the velebratea
sleuth began again: -
“Listen, Williams,” he said, “I want
you to write up a nice litle story,
see? The police suspect the author of
the letter; they're going to make an
arrest in a few hours, It was all a
frame-up, see? She was murdeyec

understand? And I want a headline
| spread across the top of the front

He grinned. “But this ain't to go
‘in this edition, Williams,” he said. “I
| want only one paper for .nyself, and
‘I've got to have one with that story
‘in it. I've got a scheme, If it works,
|the News will get a good scoop for
‘an extra edition tonight. I don't
know how you're going to work it
,but get me one paper with that story
back here in an hour!”
Even before the sentence was fin-
ished, the reporter had vanished.
Chief Roggerty had leaped to his feet,
amazed. Holcomb swung around and
faced him, talking rapidly:
“T've got @ hunch, Chief,” he cried.
“If it works, all right; if it doesn’t,
T’m ruined! I've been looking for an
\idiot who thinks he’s smart, and I've
|found him. Now Listen, Chiel—”
His voice dropped to a whisper as he
talked.

frowned by turns, and in the end he
| nisked up the telephone at hi el-
bow, growling a number—“Attorney

Roggerty hung up the receiver and
the two men went into a fresh and
more spirited huddle,

The Griffin drawing room was
crowded. There were the servants
huddled over there in the corner,
their brown faces tilted sadly toward
the floor. There was the dead wom-
an’s young grand-daughter seated in
a great chair, a beautiful young
woman in mourning black. There
was her much older husband, Rich-
ard Bundy, and his odd-looking com~
panion, Mr. Reid, over there on the
lounge, blandly scanning the front
page of the newspaper that Lawyer
Evans's “friend” had only a moment
before casually passed over to them.
Studying the faces in the room in-
dustriously, atseit guardedly, Hol-
comb, who had been introduced as
“Mr. Brown,” saw black glances flash
back and forth with telegraphic
rapidity. He felt now that the two
policemen that he knew were secreted
on the grounds, would be needed
quite soon, as would the revolver and
the emergency whistle on his person.
Then Mr. Reid suddenly rose to his
feet and addressed the lawyer, who

Dr. Bunker's Handwriting Analysis
By DR. M. N. BUNKER Well-Known Grapho-Analyst.
HE'S NEVER CONTENT—WHY?
A young fellow came into my office the other day and slumped into a chair opposite my own. He said:
"Mister, if there's any good in me, I wish you'd find it. My folks say I'll never amount to a rap, and I guess they are right. You know when I get a job, I just go into that job with all that's in me, and before I know it, I've lost every bit of interest, and I don't know what I'm going to do now. I wish you'd help me if you can."
I get a good many letters from fathers and mothers who have sons like this, and some letters from wives who have husbands who are never satisfied or content. They are always changing jobs, or if they have a good job, want to change the houses where they live, or they want to be doing something that is different all the time. Their families get worried sick with their constant changing, and yet there is something that they do not realize, that desire for change is a part of that person's nature, and the only way to handle it is to USE it instead of worrying about it.
publicity very interesting story
If you are always wanting to change—if you want to go places and do things all the time—then the thing for you to do is to get into a kind of work where you can do this. In the specimen of handwriting we have this week, there is all the evidence in the world of this changing, restless nature. Those long loops run from one line into the next. Such a person is never satisfied. If you have a friend whom you do not understand, who does not stick on a job, study his writing and you will find that nine times out of ten, there is a conflict between the loops of one line and the stroke of the line below it.
Men and women with this kind of nature need to get into work where

they can be going places. Such people are more satisfied in the publicity field or in the advertising field, or in selling than they are in any kind of a clerical office position.
This unsettled state of mind—this desire for change and variety—is not a fault; it is a part of their personal nature, and the only thing to do is to recognize it as such, and then work with it rather than against it.

HOW TO KEEP FOOD FROM SPOILING
By DR. MARTHA MANNING Home Refrigeration Expert How to keep food from spoiling always has been a big problem.
Drying, smoking or pickling was the way it was solved in early days, but the trouble was that these methods changed the taste and characteristics of the food. Finally, it was found that by removing heat, food could be kept for a long time without losing any of its natural qualities. Caves and springs were the first means of refrigeration and later "cold cellars" came into use. Just how cool these places had to be in order to properly preserve food was a matter that no one knew or practically cared about, so long as the food did not mold too fast.
Today we know that below 50 degrees Fahrenheit lies safety for meat and dairy products. Germs multiply at a greater rate when refrigerator temperatures get much above 50 degrees. Usually this means spoiled food with consequent waste. Often it means that food is eaten which is really harmful. Most bacteria are not dangerous, but should it happen that typhoid bacilli were among the rapidly multiplying germs, someone in the family might get a bigger dose of these germs than he — or she — is strong enough to resist.
Taste is not a safe guide, for a test was made recently with five people, all of whom were given chicken soup in which bacteria had multiplied 1400 times—and not one found fault with the flavor. Shippers of meat and fish, for instance, give these highly perishable products extreme care. So, too, do retailers. After all this care, these products frequently end up in a household cabinet that does not even deserve a title of refrigerator. It seems illogical that the people who actually eat the food should be much less interested in keeping it in good condition than those who only handle it.

Passionate Adventures of a Beautiful Diva
A BOOK CHAT
Boucher wished. In fact, the wily guardian of Jeanne had purposed to make a match for her beautiful foster daughter.
Batou was of social distinction and some day expected to receive a title which would of course mean, in turn, the ultimate social recognition of the ambitious Madame Boucher. Finally the match was consummated. But after the birth of a son, Jeanne deliberately deserted her husband and child.
Thereafterwards she became Jeanne Carneau the Great Singer, the Passionate Adventure par excellence. The greater part of the book depicts the numerous affairs of Jeanne, ending finally with a more or less trite solution to a problem brought about by her quest of satisfaction after the age of passion had past.
The character delineation is not as convincing as one might expect, consequently the reader often gathers the impression that the principal actors are unreal.
Withal, the book is highly interesting and entertaining. It provides a cross-section study of life and moves irrespective of conventions and mores. The author makes skillful use of rich sensuous language which adds color to the story.

Jeanne Carneau was born. illegitimately of a great actress. Her mother,
a beautiful English woman, died at
Jeanne's birth. Jeanne was adopted
by necessity by a Madame Boucher
in whose house she was born. Her
mother left no trace whatever of her
identity and Madame Boucher was
perforce compelled to care for the
helpless infant.
Jeanne developed into a remarkably pretty and attractive adolescent. Her body was perfectly proportioned and inspired a mingled feeling of admiration and passion. She was no less talented, consequently at an early age, it was discovered that with careful training she had possibilities as a great singer. Madame Boucher, who, beneath her superficial austerity toward Jeanne, was really fond of her, placed her with a very handsome musical instructor. This was really the beginning of Jeanne's adventurous career, although, she had enjoyed a mild affair with the handsome errand boy of a neighborhood butcher. Pierre Batou, the musical instructor, soon fell in love with Jeanne just as Madame

black policemen appeared. Williams,
the News reporter, dashed into the
room with pencil and pad ready.
"You want to know how you did it," Holcomb was murmuring. "Listen.
Mrs. Griffin was worth a hundred thousand dollars, most of it being willed to you three. You wanted to get your hands on it. She was old, but somehow she wouldn't seem to die. You got together. Planned. Your
Mr. Reid, I learned, is a spiritual
bealer.
"Now the old lady was half ill most of the time. You, Mrs. Griffin's grand-daughter, prevailed on her to go to the Park Hotel—and she went because you said that the man who would visit here there could surely cure her.
"Bundy, you wrote that letter to the police, to throw us off the track. And an hour or so before it was received, you, Reid, went to that hotel room and smothered the woman to death! The army blanket you used I found in your car—gray hairs on it. That was not all. There was an old inner tube, and it still smelled of expensive perfume—and natural gas—the newly discovered scientific aid to a pleasan. death. Bah!
"You are both under arrest. I warn you that anything you may say will be used against you!"

On a bed of lettuce arrange orange slices, allowing one medium size orange to a serving. Remove stones from large prunes which have been cooked until tender. Stuff with cottage cheese formed into small balls. Put 4 prunes around orange slices. Garnish with mayonnaise made with lemon juice.
But cheese in small pieces. In buttered baking dish sprinkle layer of bread crumbs, cover with one-third of the cheese and seasoning. Repeat twice. Beat the eggs slightly, add to milk, and pour over mixture. Set in a pan of hot water. Bake in moderate oven 35 minutes. Serve at once.

was busy at the broad table with a pile of documents. "I say, Mr. Evans," he laughed, "I'm roin' outside for a bit of air. You won't be ready to proceed for some minutes, eh?" Evans nodded. Bundy, the young woman's husband, got to his feet also. "A bully idea!" he exclaimed. "I think I'll go along, too!" Mildred arose now—the beautiful young woman in black. "I must use the telephone," she said. Together they were proceeding toward the door when Holcomb went into action. Swiftly he sprang out of his chair and blocked their way. "Just a minute, please."
Lower jaws dropped. Brown faces went suddenly pale. Richard Bundy turned, addressing the lawyer. "Your Mr. Brown," he snapped, "is most annoying, Evans. I told you——"
"You're speaking of Detective Holcomb," the detective interrupted calmly.
"Oh!—a detective! And what may be your errand here?"
"You read the newspaper story, didn't you?"
"Yes! But—but—say! you don't suspect any of the servants?"
"Wrong."
"Indeed! Why—why he acts—that is, almost acts as if he suspects one of us! Perhaps you'd better leave here."
"Not on your life, Bundy. For I've a hunch I'm talking to the murderers of Mrs. Griffin!" The young woman in black suddenly whirled around and sank into a chair, laughing harshly. "Such a ridiculous idea! Come, Richard, let the man tell his preposterous story. How could we murder our dear grandmother?" She burst into very audible sobs. Holcomb drew his revolver. He filled the room with two sharp notes from his whistle. The group of servants gasped. The lawyer stuffed his papers

paralysis. Douglass greeted the dying
man kindly and freely forgave him.
When Auld addressed him as
“Marshal Douglass,” Douglass re-
plied: “Not Marshal Douglass, but
'Frederick.” This touching way of
showing his forgiveness was later
construed as subservience by Doug-
Jass’s enemies among the colored
people, many of whom never forgave
him for his second marricge.
When Auld died he had his name
im the leading papers of the country
thanks to the fact that he had once
owned Douglass.
He was received as a privileged
character almost everywhere in the
North, but that did not prevent his
being snubbed by two colored dining
car waiters who did not wish to at-
tend him because of his color, Writ-
ing of this in his autobiography,
Douglass said:
“In their eyes I saw Fred Doug-
lass, suddenly, and possibly unde-
servedly, lifted above them. The fact
that I was colored and they were col-
cored had so long made us equal that
the contradiction now presented was
too much. After all, I have no blame
for Sam and Garrett. They were
trained in the school of servility to
believe that only white men were
entitled to be waited upon by colored
“While the rank and file of our
people quote with much vehemence
the doctrine of human equality, they
are among the first to deny it and
denounce it in practice.”
Having won the vote for the black
man, Douglass threw himself into the
fight to win it for the women. But
the end had come. On February 20,

1895, after addressing a woman's
suffrage convention, he returned
home to dinner, all apparently in
the best of health in spite of his
seventy-eight years. Dinner finished,
he stopped in the hallway to relate
with his usual enthusiasm, the events
of the day. Suddenly he dropped to
his knees, his hands clasped.
Mrs. Douglass thought he was
only acting but he sank lower and
lower, and finally tumbling to the
floor, breathed his la.’.
The press of the civilized world
mourned iis loss and carried stirring
eulogies of him. Memorial services
were held for him in many perts of
the nation, while the city of Roch<3-
ter voted to suspend business at his
burial.
A monument, costing $10,000 was
also erected there in his honor. Of
this sum $1,000 was voted by the
State, and a like sum by the Repub-
lic of Haiti. Theodore Roosevelt was
the orator of the occasion.
‘The Northern press, as wa: said,
spoke in highest terms oi him, thoug}.
but one or two of the many hundred
editorials on him can be quoted.
' The Chicago Western Newspaper
‘Union said:
“physically, mentally, and morally,
‘Mr, Douglass was a grand specimen
ce manhood, and any race might be
proud to claim him as a representa-
tive... . As an orator and a thinker
he ranked with the best in the land;
though slave-born and excluded <rom
‘the advantages of education he had
a command of the English language
that was marvelous in its perfection.
_.. Sneered at, hissed, mobbed, stoned,
assaulted, he stemmed the tide and
came off conqueror. When it was
dangerous for white men even to
know what to do. Crude and harmful
methods will never appeal to you. Go
prove this for your own sake. It may
save a great many disagreeable hours.

Are Long Dresses Silly?
—Well, Read This!
speak the truth on the question of
slavery, he did not equivocate or
palliate evil with soft words. He
lifted his voice like a trumpet and
told the people of their transgres-
sions.”
The Narragansett Times said:
“Slave, fugitive, crusader, champion
achiever of truest success, wielder of
vast usefulness, commander of the
world’s respect, yet with all of his
honors, humble, gentle, as are all the
truly great.
“In his immense ascent from the
lowest depths of condition where the
masses were reached not even py the
faintest gleam of hope to the hei¢h‘s
of meritorious and even majestic
triumph, in his noble aspirations and
upward mountings, his final com-
plete and serene success, the life of
this man affords one of the most
satisfying illhstrations of high human
realization that appears in the his-
tory of the whole world.”
Paul Laurence Dunbar;~ whom he
befriended: wrote:
“And he was no soft-tongued
apologist;
Don't give up a sensible skirt for
one that is not sensible—style or no
style. If enough women will laugh
at the stylists, their fads will die
overnight.
Bobbed hair proved a boon to many
women whose hair was so long that
headaches were the rule rather than
the exception. Stylists tried to bring
back long hair, but few aside from
the flappers who had never lived as
adults in the long-hair days allowed
their hair to grow. Most women of
nature years had learned that bobbed
hair was by far the best, and they
have refused to go back to the oid
style. Men banished it in the days
of Samson, and women are showing
their sense »y refusing to go back to
smelly tresses,,no matter what the
stylists say.
Treat the long skirt advocates in
the same way. When you make a
step forward in dress reform, see
that you do not slip back at night
He spoke straight-forward, fear-
lessly, uncovered.
‘The ‘sunlight of his truth dispelled
the mist
‘And set in bold relief each dark-
hued cloud. m1
To sin and crime he gave their
proper hue
And hurled at evil what was evil’s
due.” :
Theodore Tilton wrote:
“I knew the noblest giants of my
day
And he was of them, strong amid
the strong.”
Some day when the mists of color
shall have been blown away, Douglass
will be honored for what he was:
the equal of any great nan this na-
tion has produced, and an inspiration
for all mankind.
The Negroes of America owe him
an immense debt; but for him things
would have been much worse for
them than they are today.
